June 3, 2019
Derby Double Edge Razor Blades
A unique combination of chromium, ceramic, tungsten, and platinum is used to coat the blade in a technique called “sputtering”, which is a process of using high energy particles to deposit a thin film of materials onto the razor blades.
A final coating of Teflon is then used to reduce friction between the blade and the shaver’s face. Stringent quality control is adhered to insuring a highly uniform blade.
Derby Double Edge blades are individually wrapped in packages of five and have a slot on the back of the package to dispose of the used blades. They also have a thin web, enabling them to be broken in half to be used with a single edge razor. Due to the distinctive manufacturing process of “sputtering”, these blades are exceptionally uniform and provide the user with the “Three Cs” of shaving, (Clean, Close and Comfortable).
